ITE Workgroup 2nd Annual Meeting

The ITE Workgroup Second Annual Meeting

In September 2019, over 200 interpreters and translators from across the United States gathered and voted to launch a national effort to professionalize interpreting and translation in education. Join us to learn about progress made and to be part of this national effort!

The ITE Workgroup is very pleased to announce the creation of a best practices document for remote interpreting in educational settings.

The COVID-19 pandemic has meant that all educational services have had to make an overnight switch to remote communications.

1 in 5 Americans report speaking a language other than English at home. They cannot be left out of the criticial communications between schools and families.

This document is one way we want to support schools and their hard-working linguists as they learn how to communicate over telephonic and video platforms. Download, use and share widely!
